Advocate for resources to support survivors of domestic violence.
Occurrences
Evidence
Rep. Frank J. Mrvan announced a $500,000 DOJ Office on Violence Against Women Transitional Housing Program grant for Fair Haven Rape Crisis Center. He said, “I will continue to do all I can to vocally advocate for resources and funding for federal programs that provide essential support to survivors of domestic and sexual violence in Northwest Indiana and throughout our nation.”
Assessments
The promise was to advocate for resources supporting domestic violence survivors, not necessarily to enact a specific new program. While in federal office, Mrvan publicly advocated for federal funding for survivor services and announced a concrete $500,000 DOJ Office on Violence Against Women Transitional Housing Program grant for Fair Haven Rape Crisis Center. That directly matches the promised advocacy-for-resources outcome and occurred during his same term.
